Keratin treatments have become increasingly popular for those seeking smoother, more manageable hair. At Brij Hair Artistry, we view keratin treatments not just as a technical service but as an artistic transformation that enhances your hair's natural beauty while addressing specific concerns.
Understanding Keratin Treatments
Keratin is a fibrous protein naturally found in hair, skin, and nails. Over time, this protein can become depleted due to environmental factors, heat styling, chemical processes, and aging, resulting in frizz, weakness, and unmanageability.
Keratin treatments work by infusing the hair shaft with this vital protein, creating a protective barrier that smooths the cuticle and restores strength and shine. Unlike traditional chemical straighteners, quality keratin treatments focus on repairing and enhancing rather than drastically altering your hair's natural structure.
The Brij Approach to Keratin Treatments
At Brij Hair Artistry, we offer customized keratin treatments tailored to your specific hair type, texture, and concerns. Our approach focuses on:
- Personalization: We adjust the formula and application technique based on whether you want to eliminate frizz while maintaining curl, reduce volume and wave, or achieve sleek straightness.
- Hair Health: We prioritize treatments that improve your hair's condition rather than causing long-term damage.
- Artistic Finish: The final result should look natural and enhance your overall appearance, not appear artificially processed.
The Treatment Process
Our keratin treatment process typically involves:
- Consultation: Discussing your goals, examining your hair's current condition, and selecting the appropriate treatment formula.
- Preparatory Cleansing: Using a clarifying shampoo to remove buildup and open the cuticle for maximum treatment absorption.
- Application: Precise application of the keratin formula throughout the hair, with special attention to more resistant or damaged areas.
- Processing: Allowing the treatment to penetrate the hair shaft.
- Heat Activation: Using flat irons at specific temperatures to seal the treatment into the hair.
- Final Styling: Creating a polished look that showcases the immediate results of your treatment.
